Holy Cross Children's Services (HCCS) was notified today that the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) has issued a full three year accreditation to the agency for all programs and sites.  This new accreditation covers the agency from December, 2009 to December, 2012. 

According to CARF, service providers accredited by CARF enjoy recognition among an international community of persons served, peer facilities, and programs for superior standards of care and excellence in outcomes.  For consumers of services, it is assurance that the provider meets rigorous CARF guidelines for service and quality -- a qualified endorsement that the provider conforms to nationally and internationally recognized service standards and is focused on delivering the most favorable results for consumers. 

“This is simply great news and a wonderful early Christmas gift” according to Loren Brown, Executive Director of HCCS.  “This accreditation affirms the commitment of our coworkers to providing the best possible services to children, youth and families.  We are humbled to have the opportunity to serve those most in need and appreciate being recognized for our efforts to do so through quality services.  I congratulate our coworkers and applaud their efforts!” 

Holy Cross Children's Services has been providing services to Michigan’s children, youth and families for over 60 years and is headquartered in Clinton, Michigan.
